London, May 9. Analysing the Mesopotamia oil situation, the Orrer declares that the future efficiency of the Empire depends on oil for vehicles ships and aviation. Yet the Empire produces only two per cent. of the world's supplies. The vital need is sane co-operation with other countries for a decade until the Mesopotamian field is develop ed. Therefore we must have definite alliances with foreign enter- prises on reciprocal terms, as America must became an importing nation. Our maximum security depends on the alliance between the Shell Company and the Royal Dutch Corporation, which associated concern does not depend on any one part of the globe, drawing from the Dutch East Indies, Mexico, South America, Rum-

The development of Mesopotamia can best be done through the Anglo-Dutch alliance, as direct Government exploitation is impos sible, experts saying that private energy will double the output. And as France is entitled to a large share of the oil yield, a satis- factory and sensible settlement should be drawn up by associating the Anglo-Persian Company and the Shell group with their Dutch allies and France, guaranteeing a maximam of commercial efficiency. An agreement has been approved by the Petroleum Controller, the Admiralty, the Foreign Office and the Board of Trade. The Em- pire had never been presented with a wiser or fairer bargain, with The only alternative is the which the French Government concurs. throwing af Mesopotamia open to a new scramble for concessions, which would risk the whole transport and air services of the Empire. Incidentally, the Observer notes that Mr. Lloyd George is paying tribute to Sir Robert Horne on this matter, opining that he is the ablest of all his colleagues.
